Building network capacity is not magic. Powering networks for social action are constructed around seven key enabling attributes. The challenge to grassroots organizers and advocacy communication strategists is to match mobilizing and advocacy efforts with these new behaviors, while also exploiting the advantages provided by emerging technologies and communications mediums. Network-centric advocacy is the adaptation of advocacy and traditional grassroots organizing to the age of connectivity.

As long as you feel powerless and unable to do anything about [your problems], all you have is a bad scene. The people resign themselves to a rationalization: it’s that kind of world; it’s a crumby world; we didn’t ask to come into it but we are stuck with it and all we can do is hope that something happens somewhere, somehow, sometime.
